Objective To examine cognitive function in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), prior to and following participation in an aerobic exercise training program. Design Pre-post intervention study. Setting Medical research center. Participants Volunteer sample of individuals (n = 7; Age: 33.3 ± 7.9 years; mean ± SD) with chronic non-penetrating TBI (Injury Severity: 3 Mild, 4 Moderate; Time since most current injury: 4.0 ± 5.5 years) that were ambulatory. Intervention 12-weeks of supervised vigorous aerobic exercise training performed 3 times a week for 30 minutes on a treadmill. Main Outcome Measures Cognitive function was assessed using Trail Making Test (TMT-A and B) and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Sleep quality and depression were measured with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II). Indices of cardiorespiratory fitness were used to examine the relationship between improvements in cognitive function and cardiorespiratory fitness. Results After training, improvements in cognitive function were observed with greater scores on the TMT-A (+10.3 ± 6.8; P=.007), TMT-B (+9.6 ± 7.0; P=.011), and total scale RBANS (+13.3 ± 9.3; P =.009). No changes were observed in measures of PSQI and BDI-II. The magnitude of cognitive improvements was also strongly related to the gains in cardiorespiratory fitness. Conclusion These findings suggest that vigorous aerobic exercise training may improve specific aspects of cognitive function in individuals with TBI, and cardiorespiratory fitness gains may be a determinant of these improvements.

Background Early, intense rehabilitation is essential to promote recovery after stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, intensity of usual care rehabilitation interventions during inpatient rehabilitation are poorly characterized. Objective To describe the intensity of usual care rehabilitation interventions completed during the subacute phase of recovery from neurologic injury. Design Observational. Setting Inpatient rehabilitation facility. Interventions Twenty‐two usual care physical therapy interventions were grouped into six categories: gait (four activities), functional (two), strengthening (four), aerobic (six), balance (four), and wheelchair (two). Patients Patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation with a primary diagnosis of stroke, SCI or TBI within 6 months of injury. Main Outcome Measure(s) Cardiovascular intensity (physiological and perceived) was recorded during rehabilitation activity sessions. Physiological intensity was assessed by heart rate reserve (HRR) via a Polar A370 Fitness Watch and characterized as very light (<30%), light (30–39%), moderate (40–59%), vigorous (60–89%), and near maximal (≥90%). Perceived intensity was assessed using the Rating of Perceived Exertion scale. Results Patients (stroke n = 16 [number of activity sessions = 338/average session duration = 16.4 min]; SCI n = 15 [299/27.4 min]; TBI n = 15 [340/14.2 min]) participated. For patients with stroke, moderate‐to‐vigorous HRR was attained between 42% (aerobic exercise) to 55% (wheelchair propulsion) of activity sessions. For patients with SCI, moderate‐to‐vigorous HRR was attained between 29% (strength training) to 46% (gait training) of activity sessions. For patients with TBI, moderate‐to‐vigorous HRR was attained between 29% (balance activities) to 47% (gait training) of activity sessions. Associations between HRR and rate of perceived exertion were very weak across stroke (r = 0.12), SCI (r = 0.18), and TBI (r = 0.27). Conclusions Patients with stroke, SCI, and TBI undergoing inpatient rehabilitation achieve moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity during some usual care activities such as gait training. Patient perception of intensity was dissimilar to physiological response.
